Loft Mountain Campground

Sites can be a bit small to maneuver due to width. We are about 48 feet with truck & 5th wheel. Site was long and mostly private but could hear car noise on loop where we are camped. A lot of non-reservable sites. My favorite A19. Shenodoah is sooooo beautiful. Internet on and off. 4g with 3bars at amphitheater. Not many levels sites but it's worth it.

We arrived at 8:30 on a Friday night and were able to get a first come site. This campground is run by the National Park service and rangers were helpful and friendly while suggesting available sites we could set up at after dark. The nightly fee is $15 (after the $20 park entrance fee if you don't have an annual National Park pass.) Restrooms have flush toilets/bathroom sinks and dish washing sink. Drinking water is located near restrooms. Garbage and recycling is available in the campground. A dump station is located just before the campground entrance. Sites consist of a paved parking pad, fire ring with cooking grill, and picnic table. Some walk in tent sites have bear boxes for food storage. No other services or amenities at individual sites. A concession vendor runs a camp store and coin operated showers nearby ($1 for 5 min shower.)

We camped in site 127, F loop which is a non-generator loop. Some loops do allow generators. There are some fantastic sites and some lousy ones. Sites are close together but there is a lot of thick vegetation between them making most feel very private. Site 127 was very private and shady. Next to us, Site 129 was more open and would be better for someone using solar panels. We didn't see any sites that were very level and some sites looked almost impossible to get level (this is located on a mountain.)

I turned off my phone and had an unplugged weekend, so I'm uncertain of cell service. I did see folks on their phones at the camp store.

We loved this park and will return to it again. We gave it 4 stars rather than 5 only because some sites would be very difficult to get level in and some pads are too short for even medium size rigs.
